Nunavut hotel provides business travelers with essential Internet access
Page Burt manages Nanuq Lodge & Executive Suites in Rankin Inlet, owned by partner John Hickes, a well-known community leader born just south of Rankin on the coast. Page describes how their two small hotels located on the shores of Hudson’s Bay offers QINIQ broadband access to guests for free -- the majority of whom are in town for business. Fast and reliable Internet access is a priority for those who must transfer large files such as map data, and for everyone to connect to work and family while away.
